The first cohort began in September 2026, and the university presents the programme as part of its AI and innovation focus and the UAE’s wider digital-economy ambitions.","The interdisciplinary curriculum includes artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, digital transformation, governance, ethics and innovation. It is taught in English over two years, with evening classes designed for working professionals. Selected courses may use a blended format comprising 70 percent on-campus instruction and 30 percent online learning. The programme carries 120 ECTS credits over four semesters and includes industry projects, real-world case studies, a professional internship and a research-based master’s thesis.","The programme is positioned to prepare graduates for roles in technology, consulting, government, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, research and entrepreneurship. The university says students will learn to lead AI strategy, digital transformation and responsible adoption. This combination responds to an organisational need: AI systems affect workflows, data management and decision rights, so managers require both technical understanding and the ability to evaluate governance, ethics and business value.","The university says internationally recognised faculty from Paris and Abu Dhabi will teach the course, with input from research and industry practice. Small class sizes, personalised academic support and industry engagement are listed as programme features.

A curriculum is not evidence that graduates will secure particular jobs or that AI adoption will produce productivity gains; those outcomes need to be evaluated after students complete the programme.","The programme’s economic relevance lies in building management capacity around AI, not merely training model developers.
